He said private hospitals reported that most patients were unvaccinated

The country wants everybody vaccinated, I doubt they'll be too fussy where your first 2 jabs were done. I think it's just waiting a few weeks for them to get their ducks in a row here, and you'll be able to register locally. You've got a few weeks longer than many of us who accepted the cocktail anyway. I think patience could be key.

Ok. So your best guess is... mid January before 'we' (SV and AZ)get called?

If it were to be that, I think I'd wait

If longer than that I may go to Bangers

Thanks

“I think there is a misconception that the immune system can constantly be repetitively elevated such that you don’t go back to that same starting point,” she said. “And in some people, maybe if they didn’t have a good first immune response, it will enhance their cell numbers. But for the large majority you end up hitting a set point of memory that doesn’t just keep getting bigger every single time you get the same boost.”

I think we all know this, so I don't understand why some people feel the need to keep repeating it.

The flu shot has been around for years and was tested for years before being released to the public. The Covid shot was rushed out and there are still many unknowns, including the long-term effects.

Please don't use my assumptions/guesses to influence any important decisions. I DON'T KNOW, is the truth. I read what various groups say, and I am sharing my personal conclusions.

I'm interested in your comment about long-term side effects of Covid vaccines. If you have a concern about this I'd have to hope it has some kind of rational, scientifically-valid basis. That being the case, what according to you, would that basis be?

My wife received a message yesterday from a friend who told her that a walk-in vaccine Centre had been arranged and advised to get there early. We arrived at 7am and there was already a queue of about 50 waiting for the staff to arrive, which they did at about 7.30. It was a bit chaotic, but to cut a long story shorter, we got our blood pressure and temperature taken and form filling etc and sat down waiting to get jabbed. It took about 1.1/2 hours from start to finish and then waiting for the final blood pressure check took another half hour or so. All in from home and back again was just short of 3 hours, but worth it.

I’m not certain whether this was restricted to those that live in Cha Am, or had originally been vaccinated at Cha Am Hospital or not, although they did check our vaccine certificate and we had to provide a copy of our ID cards. They made an announcement that updated vaccine certificates would be available in about one week, so all in, a very good service.
